With ink barely dry on a resolution to protect funds granted for local recycling programs, the Ozark Mountain Regional Solid Waste Management District Board of Directors voted without dissent Tuesday to rescind the resolution it had adopted last week.

The action, with help from Act 1333 of the Arkansas Legislature, clears the way for the district to use without restrictions funds previously designated for community recycling infrastructure. Funding for leachate management at the NABORS landfill was the district's most immediate need for money on Tuesday.
